re: Help identifying these people with Glenn Campbell
Posted by ExtraGravy on 9/7/26 at 12:09 am to Stexas
That's probably somewhere between 1983 and 1988, Glen is with his wife Kim. I'm pretty sure that is Andy Williams, but the beautiful mystery woman on the right is not either one of his wives. This would be in the 15 year or so period that Andy was between marriages, I'd say he fumbled the bag pretty hard letting this one get away.

did he also shoot the guy in white?
about 23 seconds in, the guy in white starts to run away while the guy in blue just kind of turns in circles standing there looking confused. Gunman points gun and then runs.
around 30 seconds in, guy in white is cornered in the yard while gunman is in street and points at him again. Guy in white seems to clutch at his stomach and then knee, but gunman runs off and guy in white seems able to walk.
I can't tell if the guy in white was also hit, or the gunman fired at him.

There is no figuring out this level of stupidity. But the champ among them might be the boyfriend's roommate, who had less stake in this (that neither the girl nor the boyfriend had any real reason to be mad about) than anyone, was like "so you're going to murder your girlfriend's parents just because they told her to clean up after herself? Hey man, I'm in, let's go murder two people and risk life in prison! Think of the upside here!"

re: LA House Speaker Phillip DeVillier defends state’s push for data centers
Posted by ExtraGravy on 8/3/26 at 8:54 am to ragincajun03
I have no problem with data centers coming here, the anti-data center push is largely CCP-funded garbage, but I question why the politicians are suddenly so hot and heavy on NDAs. Something tells me it's so the politicians can secretly arrange to profit before the public can find out what's going on. Maybe I'm just too cynical.
Also if a data center closes, what happens to the buildings, are they just left to rot? Note that Meta is already getting pushback in the markets because investors think they are overspending on AI. If government subsidies or incentives are involved in building data centers, it's reasonable to require the companies to give an exit path if their subsidized investment is going to be dumped, so that the state and local governments aren't left with a cleanup bill.

I almost feel sorry for nola.com / Advocate / Times-Picayne. They are obviously doing all they can to egg on a bogus story simply because they are desperate for clicks and will say anything to stave off bankruptcy. No matter how irresponsible, they'll pretend "well there might be something to this, who are we to say".
Compare this to how the media treated, say, the COVID lab leak hypothesis as a "conspiracy theory", or how a terror attack where the guy says "I did it for Allah" gets written up as "motive is unknown." Or the umpteenth episode of trans violence is treated as an isolated by a "woman" with zero interest in the crazily disproportionate rate of violence among trans.
But here, baseless speculation and proven lies? "Hey, who are we to say? Here's another clickbait article. This one mentions Emmett Till! Gotta keep the public informed."

re: When it comes to cheating, who is more to blame: the married or the mistress?

Recently, one of my wife's friends had a husband who stepped out on her, impregnated a woman, and he and his wife are "working through it".
When discussing the event, I put the blame on the husband, like 95%.
My wife was aghast, and put it at like 65%.
I think she is very misguided, but maybe I am wrong.
What is your opinion of where the blame lies?
No pics of the wife. Incredibly pregnant at the moment.
Plot twist: OP's wife is the mistress. Now it makes sense she doesn't want to be too harsh toward the cheating husband like every other woman does.
Weird!

How are they "denying" responsibility when they haven't even spoken to their own driver yet? Sounds like they are still investigating at this point.
I wouldn't be surprised if the idiot other driver has some dumb story that it's not her fault. I've almost been hit several times by people like this. For whatever reason they just take off from a parked position and pull off into the lane of travel without looking. I'm 100% sure if they did hit me like that, their story would be "you came out of nowhere! WHERE DID YOU COME FROM! WHY DID YOU HIT ME!!"

I dunno- bad food? Bad service? If it's fast food, you can't really be surprised if any of it's bad. I try to judge things on the total picture rather than have one pet peeve that sets me off.
One experience I cannot forget, in a restaurant that was unsurprisingly closed several weeks after I went there for lunch: we had been waiting for our food for a very long time. The waitress came by a couple of times to refill our drinks. She came again, and I politely asked if she could tell us when the food would be ready as we'd been waiting. She cut me off and said something like "you know I don't run the kitchen, right?" as if I was being an arse to bring something like that up to her.
What I wanted to say was, "do you wonder why you're miserable in life and working as a waitress in your late 30s? This is why." But that would have been incredibly cruel. Instead I just told her to cancel our order and bring me the check for the drinks, and left.

re: Lane Kiffin Contract Details
Posted by ExtraGravy on 12/1/25 at 9:22 am to doclsu08
Let's see how great a deal we struck on the buyout close after the governor mouthed off about Kelly's and then LSU tried to weasel out of its obligation. Surely we struck a harder bargain as a result:
Oh.
:lol:
quote:
In a news conference a few days after Kelly was fired, Gov. Jeff Landry criticized high-priced coaching contracts with large buyouts. He suggested more deals should be weighted with performance-based incentives that would reduce the guaranteed cost and lower the price to fire a coach. Landry called Kelly’s lofty buyout a “liability.”
LSU would owe Kiffin 80% of his remaining salary if it fires him without cause, which would be paid out in monthly installments through the remainder of the deal. It does not include any mitigation or offset clause should Kiffin then get another job.
Oh.
:lol:
re: Are the Palestinians really disliked even by other Muslims?

OP you've gotten a lot of responses explaining this in detail, so yes. On this one you'll have to admit that even the "Zionists" have a point.
Constantly fomenting terror and attempting revolution everywhere they go. Their inbreeding contributes to another notable problem- their median IQ is probably somewhere around 80, while the rest of the Arab countries' hovers around or just under 100. This is a huge gap that puts them on average not much above retardation. So even if they weren't committing murder and plotting revolution, letting a ton of them into your country is going to just create many generations of people who can only do low-skill labor and live off of benefits.

re: LA AG Murrill tells House Speaker Shexnayder to historic artifact that's missing
Posted by ExtraGravy on 11/13/25 at 7:57 am to ragincajun03
quote:
Schexnayder said someone at his request notified someone from the state that he had the board as he was leaving office. He wouldn’t identify either person.
“I’m not going to go and start blurting out names,” Schexnayder said. “That’s not who I am.”
When I first saw this story I thought that it was dumb to indict him if all they could prove was the board turned up missing, but nobody could prove he took it. But then when you look at this quote from him, it's really odd isn't it. Makes me think he knows a lot more than he's let on.
quote:
“When I turned in the keys, that’s the last I seen it, that’s the last I know,” Schexnayder said Tuesday. “The last I know is the board was in the office when I left.”
Do they still have GED programs in prison? Maybe he can take this experience and make something of himself.
re: Former Louisiana House Speaker Clay Schexnayder indicted for theft of rare state artifact
Posted by ExtraGravy on 11/12/25 at 4:52 pm to BigBinBR
quote:
He’s not disputing that it was last seen at his Gonzales office. He’s also saying it was given to him to display at that office, but that has been refuted. It also wasn’t on the list of government property that he had in his office so that means it shouldn’t have even been there.
So: it’s a big arse board - not something that can simply be misplaced. He agrees it was in the office “when he moved out.” He didn’t notify the state that he had the government property at the location. The property manager says nothing was in there and they aren’t in possession of it.
Sounds like a slam-dunk case of "someone should've kept better track of this property" but I'm not quite sure how that leads to "and because of that, we're going to convict you of felony theft and send you to prison!"
Even if you choose the property manager's word over his, all that proves is that it wasn't there when Schexnayder moved out. It doesn't prove Schexnayder is the one who stole it. Or that it was stolen at all, rather than lost, or just thrown in the trash by some idiot.
I'd hope before they charge someone with stealing something valuable they have better evidence than this. And maybe they do. Then again, look at the LSU coach firing fiasco. The state seems determined to do everything in the dumbest way possible.

Imagine America's luck. Europeans stumbled on a fertile land the size of Europe, with giant inland oceans, powerful rivers, multiple coasts with sea access, and no network of established stupid little kingdoms. The enormous continent was lightly inhabited by nomadic savages with little concept of land ownership and they were about 10 to 20 centuries behind in technology.

I never understood the weird criticism of The Eagles. It was one of those things that became cool to do but never made any sense. I’m not saying they’re my favorite band or anything.
You can't argue with success, millions of people love or like them. I'm chiming in to admit to being the oddball. I never liked them as a teenager or young adult, I found them way too slick and calculated. They were technically perfect but left me cold. Again, no judgment- it just wasn't my thing. When I first saw Big Lebowski and he was denouncing the Eagles, it resonated with me as hilarious- finally there were others like me! Another thing I found hilarious about that scene is the black cab driver loved the Eagles so much he kicked the dude out of his cab for disliking them. As far as I can tell the Eagles did not have a very large black following, so that was part of the humor of the scene.
That said I always recognized their talent. And I actually like a lot of their solo stuff, much better than the Eagles ('Boys of Summer' by Henley, and his End of the Innocence album is a pop masterpiece; Walsh was a lot of fun and had great songs; Frey's 'You Belong to the City' is a beautiful song).
Another thing about those guys is if I'm not mistaken they were all from somewhere other than LA and moved there to be studio musicians. They were all people at the very top of their craft, and it showed in the music production values, the perfect singing, the note-perfect playing they did. It's amazing. But songwriting ability and charisma are the real difference makers. As I said, even though the Eagles were not to my personal taste, they had these qualities in droves. Sometimes I do play a few Eagles songs, it's an enjoyable listen that doesn't demand much from you. And there's a stadium concert from the 70s you can see on YouTube that is excellent and sounds just like their records- going back to their fundamental love/hate quality, because that's either a good thing or a bad one.
re: Target employees told to smile if they are within 10 feet of a customer

Two things can be true:
1. Most businesses could benefit from having more employees who make an effort to be nice.
2. Most retail businesses have a high percentage of a-hole customers who, if they interact with employees, are treating them like garbage. It's probably annoying to have some jackass boss telling you that you're ordered to "smile" constantly in that situation.
